The Red Barn is now open and ready to welcome you all!
Come in and dine on your classic menu favourites or try some of our fabulous new specials, including a Vegan Bean & Mushroom Pie and a spicy Vietnamese Chickpea Curry. Okay, I know that a lot of you have been missing our breakfasts, so get on down here and start your day the right way. That’s a new Barista machine we’ve got and we reckon it makes the coffee taste even better than before!

Local surf roots

The Red Barn has been home to Woolacombe’s surfers since the sport washed up on North Devon’s shores. Back at the start of the sixties the Surf Life Saving Club formed on Woolacombe Beach, shortly followed by the professional lifeguard service, and with The Red Barn’s proximity to the beach we became an unofficial club house and meeting point for those involved.

The local and visiting surf scene found a welcome home in The Red Barn that carries on to this day. Check out the collection of classic surfboards we have on display in the rafters, most were either made or surfed by local surfing ‘legends’ here at Woolacombe!
